What Reviews Say

38 reviews analyzed

Vacation Boarding Kennels receives overwhelmingly positive reviews praising its exceptional cleanliness, affordable pricing, and the genuine care provided by owner Mr. Whiteleather. Long-term customers (many with 10+ years of loyalty) appreciate the no-frills, trustworthy farm-based facility with climate-controlled kennels and individual runs. However, two reviews detail extremely poor phone experiences where the owner was described as rude and dismissive, which represents the most significant red flag. The facility excels in dog happiness and safety but may not suit owners seeking luxury amenities or those who value phone customer service.
